In case anyone needs a reason to watch it - Donald Trump's Debate Game Plan: Wing It

quote:

“Trump doesn’t rehearse,” a senior Trump advisor said today.

It’s not that his political team hasn’t tried. Trump’s aides have prepared him memos on the issues and the expected lines of questions and potential attacks from the other candidates, but there have been no formal debate prep sessions, no mock Q & A, no practice debates.

“I have no idea what to expect,” a senior Trump advisor told me. “I’m just as clueless as you about what he’ll do.”

1) The Donald is going to just destroy his competition. He's basically the character Stephen Colbert and no one is going to know how to handle him. It will be glorious.

2) Fuckabee has poo poo technique. Quit trying to be Jameson, you aren't going to do it.

The mods are clearly in collusion with the GOP and FOX News in trying to keep some strong contenders out of the public eye by only stickying the main debate thread :colbert:

At this point in 2007, the Democrats had held 6 debates already and the Rebulicans had held 5 of them

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


The RNC had lowered the number of debates because they were afraid of their candidates saying dumb things with so many debates. This means that to properly space everything out, it has to start later.

Trump really did screw up their plans.

Somewhere out there is a person with a ticket to the telecast who is going to yell out something incredibly foul to rousing applause and someone on stage is going to decide to run with it.

I'm tossing my hat in the ring for Trump. Awful as a presidential candidate, but the GOP basically has no clue how to handle him because he throws any pretense of political debate out the window in favor of saying what immediately comes to mind. He's the Confusion Fu expert of the Republican party.

Can liberals please, please, please stop concern trolling the way the debate selection was handled? I totally understand that it is basically arbitrarly punishing candidates and theoretically punishing candidates for their lack of media savvy or a chance to resonate with uninformed voters but there is no cream here to rise to the top.

I get it, as liberals we are supposed to be aggrieved that the one female candidate is being locked out of the debate basically arbitrarly but come on, loving Carly Fiorina? Let's be honest, the only reason we are disappointed that people are being locked out is not them getting in is inform primary voters more, it just makes the whole thing more ridiculous.
